Basically he sets the record straight and backs it up with proof. As many of you know this was his last fight of the UFC contract and he has always voiced his dissatisfaction with his salary. Basically after the Kendall Grove fight where his rib was broken, UFC did NOT cover any medical bills even though it happened on the "work site".

He said that he is one of the many fighters who get injured and never compensated by the UFC. He was well aware that he was on the main card because it was Canada, and this being his last fight he decided to protest in the names of all underpaid fighters and screw over the UFC.
This is NO joke because he claimed that the only reason Dana White officially released the fight bonuses was in order to counter-act the public statement that Starnes is about to make or would have made. However, since the 75k fight bonuses were disclosed Kalib's martyr actions may not be as significant.

Nevertheless, expect an official statement later this week as his gym is holding a official press conference on Wednesday. We all know that the "real" Kalib Starnes would have never fought the way he did and luckily there IS an explanation."

Bullshit.  Much better way to make that point:  kick Quarry's ass and then tell the UFC to f**k off in your after-fight speech as a winner.   You make you point much more effectively and you also get the $75k bonus and leave on your own terms as a hot commodity for another organization, not as a disgraced joke.   I felt bad for him after the fight but not anymore.

Well Said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andy ruffner]

If that's true that that was his point then I have no respect for him.  A real man would have fought the fight of his life to show what the organization was missing out on.  That's it.  Nothing more.  This is a career for a lot of these guys.  Would you f**k over your current company for the last couple weeks before moving on to the next one?  It's called a reputation. It's easy to destroy and a lot of work to build or rebuild.  Also, take a step back and remember who you're representing and your teammates.  You're f_cking them over because sometimes s**t like this gets unfairly reflected upon them. 

[Trenchcoat]

I love that Starnes still ran away from Quarry even when Quarry started fucking around at the end. What could Starnes have been thinking at that point? "I've never seen this one arm slow repeating backfist thing. Looks pretty effective. I should probably keep running."
Ridiculous.

an inverted flip off?

[lay n pray]

I wonder how many punches Starnes actually threw the entire fight.  He might not have thrown any in the last round.  But there's no way I'd watch that fight again to find out. 

[Letmbleed]

I like how he and his corner decided they wanted to fight Quarry for making fun of him.

AFTER THE FIGHT WAS OVER.

I do believe this fighting style Quarry is demonstrating here is the same approach that Screech used in preparation for his showdown with AC Slater at Bay Side High

Exactly,,he has a history of after the fight fighting. He was screaming f.u. at his own corner once after the fight was called due to a head cut.

[Romario]

well, now Starnes can fight somewhere else... But who will give this guy a chance?

 

[Untappable]

This is the same guy who, when given a chance to come back and fight again on TUF after losing, refused saying he was too beat up.   Why bother fighting at all if that's your attitude. He's done and over with. 

[Alliance Soldier NYC]

What was Quarry doing or making fun of here? I didnt see the UFC so i didnt hear any backstory to the self applied arm triangle or stretching thing.

[paully1976]

I liked how after doing this, Quarry said that he "meant no disrespect". 

Yeah ok. 

"I wanna thank my fans.  And I meant no disrespect to Caleb or his camp when I was making a mockery of his fight and humiliating him in front of millions.  Oh, and no disrespect, but you're a homo.  No disrespect."

I guess the good thing is, Caleb deserved it.  That was a painful fight to watch.  I might be a pussy for not "putting it on the line", but c'mon.  I'm not a professional fighter either.  If I wont do my job, please tell me to stop being a shithead, even if I can perform it better than you can.  Cuz, like, it's my job. 

While a lot of the pre/post fight stuff is hype, I don't buy the kiss-and-makeup stuff.  It's a good way for the winner to look like he has class, and for the loser to look like a good loser.  Otherwise there wouldnt be so much shittalking after the hugging and kissing stops.

and he's gone...

Horrible Career Move = see Kalib Starnes UFC 83

Ya know, if the guy could have 'used the ring' as a method to pick apart Quarry and win the fight, so be it...but he just used it to avoid fighting.

He did accomplish three things however...ruining his chance with the largest MMA organization out there, dropping his stock to zero for any other organization to pick him up, and pissing off any loyal Canadian fans he might have had.

Seriously, that was a dick move whether it was planned in advance or not.  In the end, he stuck it to himself, no one else.
